If I do have CMT 2. Which my neurologist said could be possible? Would my exercise and training or type of work make it worse? Am I doing my feet no good by continuing with my profession? Is it possible to have CMT 2 and have it in a mild form or have it develop slowly? Or is this type of PN just bad news all round?
DNA blood testing thru Athena should give you an answer. As said before, it is expensive. I am not suggesting that you do have a type of CMT but it probably is worth looking in to. A good neurologist who knows CMT can be of help to you.

However, no one, not even a doctor, can tell you how you will end up if indeed you do have a type of CMT. CMT is progressive no matter what you do. There is no magic bullet, supplement, etc. You deal with the symptoms as they come along. I wish you well.
